Squeegees FAQs
How often should I replace the squeegee blade?
Replace the blade when you notice streaking or small nicks — usually every 6 to 18 months depending on use and water hardness. Regular rinsing and drying will extend the blade’s life.
Is a silicone blade better than rubber?
Silicone blades tend to last longer and resist hardening; rubber blades can give slightly cleaner initial wipes on very smooth glass. Both work well — choose silicone for longevity and rubber for a marginally sharper finish.
Can I use a shower squeegee on windows?
Yes. Shower squeegees are perfectly suited for indoor windows and mirrors. For larger exterior windows, consider wider blades or a squeegee designed for window cleaning with a pole attachment.
What size squeegee should I choose for a standard shower door?
A blade near 12 inches is versatile for most full-length shower doors, while an 8.7-inch blade is handy for smaller or segmented panels. If you frequently clean large panes, go wider to save time.
How do I prevent mould and odour on the squeegee?
Rinse the blade after each use and store it in a holder or hang it so it can dry thoroughly. Periodic cleaning with a mild vinegar solution helps remove mineral deposits and keeps the blade fresh.
